The 101 Uses for an Old . . . Series combines humor with a small, short book format to make inexpensive gifts. With a powerful masculine symbol like Harley-Davidson, I expected to be rolling on the floor with laughter on every page. Instead, I found much that was not new to me (photos of early Harleys) and not funny (such as a triangle of Harley riders on Daytona Beach in the 1950s).

There are a few enjoyable ones:

A man dressed in a suit sitting in a sidecar while a uniformed chauffeur drives the Harley.

A woman in a 1920s bathing costume mounting a Harley on the beach while her male companion sits in the sidecar.

A Harley entirely covered in a buffalo hide with the head atop the handlebars.

Eight police officers balanced on a moving Harley in acrobatic poses.

An ad with a police officer on a Harley being served by a car hop.

A man dressed in a suit riding a Harley with a sidecar full of hunting dogs. It looks like a fox hunt!

A chicken mounted on a Harley looking like rider from the front.

A boy and his father astride matching Harleys with the kickstand down, and large identical smiles on their faces.

A briefly clad Jayne Mansfield with hat askew, posing as a police officer pulling over a car.

A Harley with a runner on the front and chains on the back tires to travel on frozen lakes.

A gun-mounted, armored Harley used during the Mexican Revolution.

A Harley with Christmas tree lights on it (a different view from the one on the cover).

If you know someone who would like a little Harley nostalgia, and cannot afford a more expensive gift book, this one could work . . . as long as the person doesn't mind a little humor being poked at the idea of a Harley.

After you finish inspecting the images in this book, think about how you could create a light hearted moment with your Harley.
